IQLBERT w." ENG EL, E Q -G ILLINOIS" PICTURE-MOUNTING 'nnvicnz To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT W. ENGEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Picture-Mounting Devices, of which the following is a speclfication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved device of the nature of a corner fitting for securing cards or pictures to a mount. It consists in the elements and features of construction 'shown and described, as indicated in the claims.

right angleof which is designed to fit the corner of the card or picture to be mounted, so that said angle being applied to the corner, the fitting is definitely and accurately positioned in place, the two marginal portions along the two sides of the right angle being gummed onto themount, while the. marginal portion along the hypotenuse of the right-angle triangle is gummed upon the face of the card orv picture. i i

In the form shown in Fig. 3the'aper-v the right-angled aperture which is apparent 7 upon lifting the right angled corner of the flap, and the flap and the marginal portion of the corner fitting along the oblique edge are gummed down upon the face of the Specification of Iletters Patent v 1920.

Application filed August 29, 1919. Serial No. 320,708. 7

.card or picture, while the marginal portions which, as stated, are gummed onto the mount, extended beyondthe marginal portion of the corner fitting which is gummed onto the face of the picture, as stated, and

at the portion ofthe extent of these marginal portions beyond the edge which is lapped and gummedonto the face of the picture, said marginal portions are provided with projections, 3?, extending oil inward from the two sides of the right angle produced, so as to. project under or behind the picture; whereby the card or picture itself operates as a' means of holding the corner fitting down onto the mount at the I two cornersthereof remote from the right angle.

- In theform-shown in Fig. 5, instead of the projection, 3 which characterizes the. Z

form shown in Fig. 4, the corner fitting is extended generally,-that is, over the whole extent of, itsoblique edge,and a slit, 3 is made through which the corner of the card is introduced and from which it extends into the triangular aperture for fitting in the'right angle of said aperture as in the other form. In this form the strip.

or bar, 3 connecting the two corners of the fitting remote from'the right angle, becomes V engaged under the card or picture, for holding up.

Ic1aim: c

1. A picture or card mounting device, con

sisting of a corner fitting adapted to be gummed on one side, having a corner embracing aperture two adjacent sides of which form an angle equal to thatof the the corners from becoming ragged or curlcorner of the card or picture to be mounted.

2. A picture, or card mounting device, consisting of a corner piece gummed on {one 'sideandhaving a corner-embracing righting the fitting to the mount, preventing it angular aperture-to receive the corner of the card or picture to be mounted.

3. A- picture'or card mounting device,.:

consisting of a corner piece gummed on one side, and havlng a corner-embrac ng aper-' ture two ad acent sides" of whlch 'form' an angle equal to'thatof the corner of the"card I or picture .to be mounted, and having at intervals from said aperture along the lines,

V respectively, of the sides of said angle produced, portions extending from said lines 5 inward for engaging back of the card or picture.
